My custom leaded glass door

It's back up finally

my side entry where 99.9% of guests enter

used to have a boring solid door with a very small little

window at the top

 that entry space was so dark all day long...

it needed to be bright and welcoming

so a few years ago my very talented

~sister~

came for a visit and made me a beautiful

leaded glass door

there was a lot of work put into this
trying to figure out patterns

then constructing

~viola~

isn't it beautiful

 I still can't get over what a big job that it was

and what a huge talent she is

I am just blown away by her

artistic ability

what a HUGE difference it made

well it broke awhile ago...

 i forgot to put the doorstop in while it was open

that will never happen again...

 it got sent out to the very specialized glass doctor

who happens to live close to us...

lucky because hauling this 8 foot glass door

is not good for my heart 

and it came back changed a bit
he added some lead for support
in places that changed the look
somewhat
can you see the difference?

this is the new look
see the 3 horizontal lead bars
he added in the middle

the close up shows off the
~german antique glass~

which I was informed by the
glass Dr. is so expensive now
because germany ran out of it

the old original look

 was prettier

but not sturdy enough

so this is just fine with me

I still love everything about it

I just love this door

and feel so lucky to have it

This is one of my favorite things in my home

I think of my

*sister*

every time I see it

thanks B

I love ya!
